I hope they kill in merchandise sales this year with the old style logo and go back to it permanently. Unless they have and I missed it somewhere. LOL

Philly isn't a basketball town, the sooner you all realize this the better.

nonsense....its probably the best basketball town in the world outside of ny and chicago

incredible high school legacy to the big five to the sixers...classic material


edit: i should note that if you meant to say in response to matty that sixer regular season tickets wont be hard to get then youre correct

[Rome]

It's not an NBA basketball town.  It never has been and never will be.  College basketball?  Sure.  NBA - nobody gives a shtein.

Say word.

[ice grillin you]

do you try and hurt me?

i care

in fact if i had to rank the philly teams in order it would be

1a sixers
1b phillies
1c eagles
1d flyers

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

There are a higher percentage of black guys on the Eagles than there are on the Phillies.  You sure that list is correct?

[Rome]

An Eagles player breaks wind in the offseason and it's front page news.  The Sixers acquire Elton Brand and it barely registers a blip on the radar screen.

I'm not saying the Sixers don't have their fans.  They do.  Especially when they're winning.

But the Eagles own the city and the surrounding region.  To suggest otherwise is plainly silly.

They had the second worst home attendance two seasons ago and they couldn't sell out a game 6 playoff game. The Wac was half full (if that) for 75% of the season. I know you think their not having a chance to win hurt attendance but if that's the bums/birds/flyers they sell out. There is a correlation between the two as far as attendance goes.

And yes I meant Philly is not an NBA town, it's outstanding for College and High School hoops.

As far as this city goes it's:
Eagles

Flyers


Bums



Sixers

oh theres no doubt about the tickets...its way to much of a white blue collar town to fully support a bunch of rich black guys who are percieved as all being criminals making 10 million bucks a year to run up and down a court...its why a sixers game is the only philly sporting event that will not contain the obese jort rocking alcoholic fanbase

you also have 90% of the black population of the city unable to afford to go to things like sporting events

that said all things equal the sixers will almost always easily beat the flyers in tv ratings

They support the Eagles, which is 75% full of rich black guys.

Locally the Sixers beat the Flyers in TV ratings? I don't know about that.
